OMG, I love Winston’s grouchy little smashface! From the videos I’ve seen on the Fourfour site, I think he’s not really grouchy – just kind of sweet and quirky, in a weird and blundering way. He was once described as having synapses like scribbles.

Hilarious. Reminds me of my two girl cats. Can someone tell me why only one of my cats grooms the other? The small one grooms the big one, but never vice versa. Is this because the big one is the dominant one?

(small nuff point — was that cigarette smoke drifting by early on in the video? shouldn’t be smoking when you have animals or kids in the house — adults can make their own choices, but the wee ones can’t).

Re: one kitty licking the other-
It has nothing to do with size, it’s all about dominance. Interestingly enough, the dominant cat does the licking and the submissive cat is always the receiver. Rudy wears the pants in this relationship.
One of my kitties licks the other one, and if the other one tries to lick back he gets smacked.

Note to those who wonder why one cat is always doing the licking: In my house that’s how it is — no mutuality at all. I read somewhere that the dominant cat holds down and grooms the others to demonstrate his/her superiority. So while to all us humans it looks very much like Winston is being pampered and served, in cat language it’s like T. said — Rudy is The Man.

Rudy is so sweet! And it’s nice to see Winnie when he’s not being tormented with a bath or some such abomination. My two kitties occasionally attempt to leeck each other at the same time–so both heads are moving up and down, trying to leeck the other moving target . . . redonkulous.

Since from what we have heard Winston doesn’t clean himself well, if at all, it is probably a good thing that Rudy is willing to do it for him–and so thoroughly, too. I am guessing that there is probably a fair amount of food flavoring all over Winston at any given time, since he eats constantly and doesn’t clean himself. Maybe Rudy is just tasting him, not really cleaning him.

I wish I could enjoy this video but it brings back such uncomfortable memories. The courtesy driver at the Ford dealership had to drive me home one day and he was playing this song and singing along with it like I wasn’t even there. *shudders* uncomfortable heebie jeebies!!!!

Oh boy, Winnie’s back and he’s lazy as ever. He’s got it made – Rudy, his overly attentive manservant! Love the video where Winston can’t be bothered to lift a paw for the toy. And, you have to see Winston meowing during his bath. More Winston, please!

The oldest 2, Chloe and Baby, groom each other. After that, the older ones lick the younger ones but not the other way around. So if it’s dominance, in my house, it’s the one who is the LICKER who is dominant, not the LICKEE.

(Maybe I can apply for a grant to stay home and do further research???)

I like how Winston is all, go away now OK that’s enough at first… then gives in and relaxes, then by the end is like OK give it up! He even starts to gently bite other kitty but kitty won’t stop… then at the very end he’s there, “OK that’s enough! I’m outta here!” Then to top it all off he’s like, “No, not THERE!” Zoom. LOL
